From boardroom strategy to frontline operations, we unpack how artificial intelligence is reshaping business, the pitfalls to avoid, and the bananas you should grab along the way. No tech-splaining. No fluff. Just smart, clear conversations that make AI useful, usable, and maybe even a little fun. 🐵🍌

The Dumb Monkey Show - Simplifying AI for business leaders
This AI Is NOT Safe for Work (Here’s Why It Matters for Business)
Elon Musk’s Grok AI comes with “Spicy” and “Unhinged” modes — including flirty voice chats, foul-mouthed rants, and even celebrity deepfakes. Aamir and Davina put it to the test… then ask the harder question: what happens when businesses start using unregulated models like this at work?
Along the way we dig into:
• What’s new with GPT-5 (and why its “PhD-level” reasoning is a genuine leap forward)
• Australia’s AI Adoption Report — and why construction + manufacturing are falling behind
• The basics of Responsible AI (half of businesses aren’t even checking outputs before sending them to customers 😳)
• Why the next wave isn’t just chatbots — it’s agents that can take actions on your behalf
Why it matters: flashy features aren’t the same as safe features. If you run a business, the wrong AI could put your data, your reputation, and even your customers at risk.
